Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty feels like the game CD Projekt Red set out to make all those years ago, and marks a truly great, original entry into the cyberpunk genre.
It has nothing to do with DMCA. It’s not copyright infringement.
It’s violating an NDA on an unreleased product, and even if they can’t actually get damages, the day they do it they never get a review code from anyone ever again.
Yeah like if IGN doesn’t follow their rules. Welp no Witcher 4/whatever its called review copy when that comes around. Even though IGN sucks its probably better to have more voices than less in the review space. Playing these stupid games set out the publishers is the only way to play since I doubt there will be any solidarity done for IGN.
Hell I’m scheezed out by so many games doing this whole “preorder for early access” and getting around reviews. Look at Payday 3, it has done it and there are basically no critic reviews on it. Not sure if its due to an embargo or they literally didn’t even send out review copies, which isn’t a great look.
I don’t understand why IGN submits to this. IGN is an American outlet, so the Fair Use policy of the DMCA applies to them.
